Your eyes are constantly changing. Even people who have never had vision problems in the past may begin to experience changes in their eyesight as they grow older. We offer a full range of eye care services to meet virtually any vision need for your entire family.
Insight Eye Clinic provides two distinct types of eye examinations. The Routine eye check up performed by an ophthalmologist, ensures that patients who wear Glasses and contact lenses experience the best vision, comfort and safety from their Glasses and contact lenses. A routine exam focuses on the refractive state and general health of the eye. This means ophthalmologist will check your eyes for refractive errors and it is centred on getting you perfect glasses or contact lens prescription to give you the best vision possible. Important measurements may be taken to determine correct lens type and design in order to provide proper vision correction, this is followed by analysis of the patient’s eye health and addressing you primary complaints for which you visited our clinic.
In a Comprehensive eye check up or a full medical eye health examination, an ophthalmologist checks for medical conditions that may threaten a patient’s vision or general health. During a full medical eye health exam the doctor tests eye pressure, alignment, movement and structures of the eye. Typically this exam includes dilation of the pupils to examine structures in the back of the eye. Once overall eye health is evaluated, a prescription may be written for corrective lenses.
We value your time and we make every effort to run on schedule. However, we occasionally have some emergency cases which may require a little more time, this might cause some delays. You should allow 60 to 90 minutes for your appointment and where possible arrange for someone to drive you. Please notify our staff if you have any concerns or have other appointments.
